The club, which had already set itself a deadline of the end of the year to secure the required funding or consider scrapping plans for the new venue at Ashburton Grove, is understood to make a major announcement this week.
According to UK press reports, the news will be that compulsory purchase order on existing businesses on the site are close to completion. Confirmation will allow the banks the club is in talks with to take a giant leap closer to releasing the $450m required to fund the project.
